Hitchhiking from Rio de Janeiro to Belo Horizonte in 4 steps:

1st step: take a bus from Central do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro) to Vila Canaã (border of Duque de Caxias), and ask to get off it in the toll

2nd step: thumbs up! there's a Federal Police next to the toll(the cars go too fast by this toll, anyway i got a ride in less than 20minutes. maybe it'll be easier to you if you take a bus to Petrópolis and start hitchhiking from there. but the bus is like 10reais more expensive -not too much, but you can drink like 3 bottles of beer with the difference hahah-)

3rd step: bye bye! ;P

4th step: watch the video bellow or hitchhike to learn this step.
